This is one of my favorite bakery's. Everything is so tasty and the people behind the counter are very nice and friendly. Over the years, I've gotten many baked goods, mostly cookies and small pastries and it's never disappointed yet. The people there make the shop feel very welcoming. I will continue to visit for years to come. read more

Not sure what is going on, but lately I've fallen into a bunch of bad companies, mean people, and crap products. If you want day old bread/doughnuts this is your spot. Yuk. Went at 6am on a Sunday, all excited to go get "fresh" doughnuts and bread for my wife... what did I receive instead? Literally stale doughnuts, and a loaf of bread so hard i just threw it away. Even microwaved these doughnuts were horrible. WAY better doughnuts and Dunkin up the road and that isn't saying much. What a disappointment. read more

We went for the first time and it was a terrible experience. The place seemed dirty and not welcoming at all. There was no "hellos". It was an immediate "do you want a small bag or big bag" and we had no idea what that meant. We had no time to pick nor did the lady bother to explain things to us. We got two donuts and a cinnamons roll (with icing). I thought she would at least warm up the cinnamon roll but no. The roll was dry and hard. The donuts were mediocre. For the price of them I could have went to Dunkin down the street. Not welcoming at all. read more

W donut place ngl goated donuts, W staff chill place. I recommend this to anyone who is physically capable of eating donuts.

Kirby's has significantly changed over the past few years and unfortunately, not for the better. Their cinnamon coffee cake is still one of my favorite items to buy, but their donuts and other breakfast pastries tend to be stale and dry. The prices have also gotten exorbitant. I went in a few weeks ago and purchased six sugar cookies (which were amaturely (borderline poorly) decorated compared to current standards) and six cupcakes. (I mean the sugar cookie was the 90s-esq single color smiley face with two black eyes and if memory serves me correctly they were close to 5.00 each) My total was over $50.00. For the cost of the pastries, the quality and the decoration needs to be significantly improved. Also, it was bothersome to me that they didn't have a box that fit the cupcakes. Each cupcake was placed in an individual plastic cup, which made transport an absolutely nightmare. We will probably seek other options if we need to bring a desert somewhere. read more

The ladies working in the store were so kind to my little grandsons and me. Great selection of bakery goods....especially their dinosaur cookies. read more

Spotting an unexpected "Donut" sign by the roadside always sweetens a suburban excursion. I can never resist stopping. Kirby's offers decent doughnuts for pretty cheap. Their apple fritter is a little on the small side and needs a 100% increase in cinnamon content and a 50% increase in apple content. It has a good sweetness level and nice dough. Their chocolate-iced cake doughnut is a-okay. read more

If I could leave this place a 0 star review I would. I've never met people so ignorant in their entire life. I was behind the owner in the grocery store and she was totally rude to the customer service girl. The girl then went and got the manager who was being very polite and respectful and the lady was still just as rude to her! I couldn't believe it! As a business owner you should be polite and courteous to people in your community. I went online to look at their prices and they were ridiculous. It's no wonder the lady acted like she did. Entitled. Spoiled. Incompetent. All because she wasn't getting her way. Kathleen is the worst business owner I've ever seen!! read more

I lived in Manhattan for four years and never tried Kirby's. Big mistake! Wife and I went there to pick up a coffee cake for a relative. It's clean and the ladies who run the place are very friendly. I had a breakfast sandwich (I was not expecting them to have that. YUM! Nothing over the top but yum. The kicker was the Holland Cream cake. Wow!!! That was so good that I cannot imagine eating one from anywhere else. I've heard great things about the donuts but did not try one yet. Five stars on the cream cake alone. Round 2 coming soon!! read more

I have been driving through Manhattan for 30 years to get to work and refused to support the local businesses because the Manhattan Police were so ruthless about speed traps and I was apparently easy prey to their Quota system. Sadly, because of my protest I never gave this local gem a try. Now that there's endless vehicle traffic passing through Manhattan and a new Sheriff in town that abides by the "No Quota" regulations, I do support Manhattan businesses. It makes me sad that I have missed out on this awesome bakery for so many years because of my anger for the Manhattan Police Department. Just to think of the thousands of dollars I'd have spent just at this one businesses over the course of 30 years. All for a few borderline speeding tickets. As for the Bakery, I absolutely love it, anything I want is there and if I want something in particular they will accommodate me. The Lasagna is awesome but make sure you check ahead because it goes fast. If you don't get homemade Pie you can buy one here. Also, the Coffee is very good. I must point out that the 3 Star rating is unfair because all of those bad ratings were years ago. I have nothing but great things to say about Kirby's Bakery. read more

This place is a really awesome local place, and we have been going there for years. Despite some comments, the doughnuts are pretty good and not much money. The workers are what really makes the place great and always greet you with a smile. I highly recommend this place. read more

The place is just Ok. Very mediocre desserts, nothing really special I think Jewel' s Bakery does a better job.

Nothing special about this bakery. The ladies never are smiling behind the counter. The sweets are good and reasonably priced. There is even a day old bread rack for 50% off! Fleckenstiens in mokena is better and more polite people. read more

For a bakery their display case is very small and unorganized. The pricing is high. Service fair. Only homemade bread on Wednesdays and not worth waiting. read more

A friend and I were biking from chicago down to a state park maybe 20 or 30 miles from Manhattan, IL. We stopped in Kirby's and asked what they're best donut was. The lady working there said the best one was whatever had just come out of the fryer, which at that moment happened to be some cake donuts, which they were icing with chocolate icing and sprinkles. It blew my mind. The flavor was great. Great donut. Even now thinking about it, what a great donut. We also got a couple sandwiches. The sandwiches were fine, nothing special. The service was pretty good the people were friendly enough. But those donuts were incredible. :) read more

I wish I could give you guys more stars! Not only is the staff delightful, the food is out of this world! The donuts are to die for. I always have to stop here when I'm passing by read more

Kirby's has been in Manhattan FOREVER. We used to come in here as kids, and the workers were never very nice to us even though we were always on our best behavior. I went in there the other day to grab a dozen doughnuts as a thank you for my Vet's office, so I didn't eat any. It did seem a little "un-loved" and sad in there. I wish they would make it look nicer. I'm sure the doughnuts are still delicious, as most sugary treats are. Reasonably priced. read more

Asked for a blueberry muffin. Woman said she would get us a "fresh" one. It was stale as hell. And the coffee is so hot that when you try to put the lid on,the Styrofoam crumples and coffee goes everywhere. read more

The staff was very friendly and the doughnuts were ok. Good to support the local shops in the community.

Worst bakery ever, never will set foot in there again. The decorated my cake with whatever colors they wanted, made me make a special trip out there with the topper and never put it on , didn t put the cake in a box and gave us creme horns instead of cannolis. Then the owner Kathy Kirby hung up on us when we called to complain, What a piece of work. read more

Great service, excellent deserts!!! I have gone there many times for just about every occasion, and have yet to be disappointed. One of the many local establishments here in Manhattan that will always get my support. read more
